After Frank Herrmann chances upon documents connecting his German father to Clipperton Island, he can’t pass up the chance to learn more about the man who died when Frank was only 11 years old.
Frank’s journey is not an easy one. Following the death of his wife, he finds himself falling in love with her sister, Leila. But Leila is involved with Frank’s cousin, Jim.
The three of them make their way to Clipperton, are attacked by drug dealers and are left marooned on the island after a freak storm hits.
Frank must also deal with the evidence they find showing his father was a high-ranking Nazi involved with Auschwitz who remained committed to his Nazi ideals throughout his life.
Endorsements:
“Karl Berger’s Clipperton is a Blakesian vision that brings sex, religion, personal guilt and the ghosts of darkest history (not to mention a gang of Peruvian drug lords) to the point of violent, nightmarish climax on a strange, barren island. The book is a true shoot-’em-up adventure and a compelling romance at the same time. It drops us smack in the middle of a defining moment, the do-it-or-die testing ground of the soul, where despite everything, the failures of a lifetime can still be redeemed. Clipperton is a risky, ambitious tour-de-force of a first novel.”
